| 0:00.0 | So I went and cleared out everything that was obviously outdated |
| 0:03.8 | We had of course like bullet points on |
| 0:07.1 | Speculation about what TV kit might be and rumors of the new Apple TV remote |
| 0:13.3 | We're talking about that would be we get those fractions right |
| 0:17.8 | In the realm of follow up we have more follow up about the TV that neither Marco nor I cares about oh you care |
| 0:25.4 | You need to care actually there's one item about the TV |
| 0:28.2 | It's not in the follow up that I want to briefly mention so since last week |
